A Mr.. Weighley, of Richland Cen
ter, Wisconsin, was in town Tuesday
looking around with q view to finding
q location for an exclusive boot an(
shoe store. He was much pleased with
lola and it lie entirely probable that b,
will locate here. He eaid he had beer
all through the western and southwest
ern parts of the State and this was tn,
first town that he had seen that had
not from six to q dozen empty business
buildings. We should be glad to sc,
Mr.. w. locate here for we are positive
there is ample room in lola for the bus
mess in which he is engaged.
The REGISTER has received hin,
that certain residence within thu
city limits is occupied and used exclu
sively as gambling den, being main.
tanned. our informant says, by one o.
the Capitalists" of the town and run
for the money there is in it. Our in
formant seemed to think that he knew
what he was talking about, but de.
clined to drop any clue to the identity
Of the Capitalist or the location Of
the residence. The mystery offers a
good opportunity for the display OF
detective talent on the part of our Wig.
liant city officials.
The bean supper at the G.. A. r
Hall last Thursday evening was thor
oughly enjoyed by the old soldiers
and their wives, rs such occasions al
ways are. Mr.. Funston was unable to
be present, but Judge Stillwell was on
hand and responded to the call for a
speech with talk that it did one good
to hear, full of anecdotes and remin-
iscences and breathing the patriotism
of the old gar days. He was followed
by Capt. Ewing and others, in listen
ing to whom the evening passed rap
idly away.
By reference to our report OF the
District Court proceedings it will be
seen that the prohibition buzssaw has
been in pretty lively motion. County
Attorney Benton deserves credit for
the skill with which he worked up
the cases and presented the convict
ing testimony. He is taking the dem
ocratic county convention at its word
in the "rigid enforcement of all laws"
much to the disgust. however, We are
informed, of certain of his fellow-parti-
sans.
The question of the admission of COL
ored pupils to the public schools of Fl.
Scott has reached the Supreme Court,
the case of one Buford Crawford, being
taken up to test the question. The
Court, after hearing argument, issued
q mandamus requiring the school board
to admit the said Crawford to the
school nearest his home, or show reas-
on why. This settles the question.
No child can be excluded from the
public schools of Kansas on account Of
his color.
Apropos Of the REGISTERS sugges-
ton two weeks ago about the possible
ity of manufacturing beet sugar in
Kansas, we see that samples of sugar
beets grown by Colonel D. r. Antho-
ny, near Leavenworth, have been sent
to Claus Spreckles' laboratory in Cali
fornia to be analysed. If the result il
IA vorable Leavenworth capitalists pro-
pose experimenting in the manufac-
ture Of beet sugar. This is an i'm port
ant move and will be watched with in
terest.
A Kansas Farmer correspondent
suggests that Governor Martin pro-
claim "Seed Corn Day." when every
farmer is expected to select and prop
erly care for one bushel of the best seed
corn he can find. The next thing we
hear somebody will be wanting the
Governor to issue a proclamation di-
recting the farmers when to feed their
hogs or wean their calves or pillow their
corn. Some people do always want to
work their hired man to death.
Mr.. Marshall, the gas we'll man, has
thrown mp his job and gone to Fort
Scott, leaving his drill fast in the hole
It q depth of about 100 feet. Mr.. s. n.
Delap is at work trying to extricate
the drill. The Gas Company have not
yet found any one to take Marshall's
place and 90 on with the work. From
The trouble we have in getting our
wells drilled it looks as though Provi-
lence was "agin" US in this gas busi-
ness.
John Thomas, - said the City Attorney.
'you are charged with being drunk. Guilty or
rot guilty?''
Guilty, your honor; I'm from X nsas"
do YOU plead that in mitigation of thu
,fenee?"
Eyes, sir"
Well your fine is S5.''-K. c. Ners.
We hasten to add that the gentle
man above named il not our sober
John Thomas, of the Carriage Works.
Mcclure says that if he can find out
who the man was that cast that vote
or him for treasurer in Marmaton
he will send him the REG
,sTER q year. We trust he will show
10 ut once. A man who stays with
his friend even after he has been
shocked down aud dragged out,
deserves some reward. And besides
We want that subscription.
